*“I wanted to put you bang in the picture. Appraise you of the difficulties. Because, in case you hadn’t noticed, he’s a human fucking boobytrap. And now, guess what, surprise surprise, boom!”*



A world-famous children’s author under threat. A battle of wills in the wake of scandal. And one chance to make amends…



It’s the summer of 1983, The Witches is about to hit the shelves and Roald Dahl is making last-minute edits. But the outcry at his recent, explicitly antisemitic article won’t die down.



Across a single afternoon at his family home, and rocked by an unexpectedly explosive confrontation, Dahl is forced to choose: make a public apology or risk his name and reputation.



Inspired by real events, __Mark Rosenblatt__’s debut play explores with dark humour the difference between considered opinion and dangerous rhetoric.



Directed by __Nicholas Hytner__ (*Straight Line Crazy, La Belle Sauvage*) and starring Tony and Golden Globe-winner __John Lithgow__ (*Killers of the Flower Moon, The Crown*), alongside Olivier Award-winner __Elliot Levey__ (*Cold War, Cabaret, Good*), *Giant* offers a complicated portrait of a fiendishly charismatic icon.

Review: Maine State Music Theatre's BEAUTY AND THE BEAST
by Carla Maria Verdino-Süllwold - Jun 10, 2024


In a colorful, imaginative retelling of this “tale as old as time,” MSMT opens its 2024 TYA series with a revival of Robin and Clark’s version of BEAUTY AND THE BEAST. The production, directed by Betsy Puelle, not only offers a contemporary twist on the classic fairytale, but also layers onto that version another dimension of fantasy and fun. Setting the ancient story as a play within a modern play, Robin and Clark create the dual perspective that characterizes many of their musicals and allows the actors to break the fourth wall and engage the youngsters directly. The narrator, a schoolgirl named Cindy, fashion – often improvises - her version of the story, lobbies to have it produced, and eventually plays a pivotal role in the work. Employing MSMT’s exciting new video technology, a stellar cast of young professionals, and incorporating large-scale, whimsical puppetry into the mix, this BEAUTY AND THE BEAST proves the resilience of the source material and the creative genius of the company

Interview: Writer and Performer Jean Franzblau on MY MOTHER DOESN'T KNOW I'M KINKY
by Shari Barrett - Jun 8, 2024


In May 2014, I heard about the new solo show Coming Out Kinky written and performed by Jean Franzblau in which she related her personal journey to sexual self-acceptance. In it, she portrayed 20 characters in her sexual memoir adventure story for curious and open-minded adults to enjoy. So when I heard Jean was bringing her updated play My Mother Doesn’t Know I’m Kinky to the Hollywood Fringe Festival this month, I decided to speak with her about how it’s has been updated, how much her mother really does know, and her plans for taking it around the world as a way to spread the word about how important it is to “know thyself.”
